Are you looking for a recipe for shrimp pasta, ideas for serving it, or something else about it? I can give a full recipe with step-by-step instructions if you want. Here’s a simple one to start:
Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta
Ingredients (serves 2–3):
- 200g spaghetti or fettuccine
- 250g shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of half a lemon
Instructions:
- Cook the pasta: Boil in salted water until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water and drain.
- Cook the shrimp: Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a pan over medium heat. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
- Make the sauce: In the same pan, add remaining butter, garlic, and chili flakes. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Combine: Add cooked pasta, shrimp, and a splash of reserved pasta water. Toss well to coat. Add Parmesan and lemon juice, mix again.
- Serve: Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan.
If you want, I can also give a creamy tomato shrimp pasta version that’s richer and a bit restaurant-style.
Do you want the creamy version too?
